Walk the Bible: A Spiritual Pilgrimage Through Egypt & Israel
Some journeys are more than travel — they’re a return to your spiritual roots. The Pilgrimage Tour of Egypt and Israel is one such journey. Over the course of several days, you’ll trace the footsteps of prophets, kings, and apostles; witness the landscapes where biblical history unfolded; and feel your faith come alive with every step.
Your spiritual adventure begins in Egypt, the land of the Pharaohs, where the story of Exodus comes to life. Visit the Pyramids of Giza and the ancient city of Cairo, then venture toward Mount Sinai — the revered mountain where Moses received the Ten Commandments. As you stand before the burning-bush chapel at St. Catherine’s Monastery or hike the very trail Moses is said to have walked, the scriptures will feel closer than ever.
Crossing into Israel, the Holy Land welcomes you with sacred cities and sites of unmatched spiritual depth. In Jerusalem, walk the Via Dolorosa to the Church of the Holy Sepulchre — retracing the final journey of Jesus Christ. Feel the serenity at the Garden of Gethsemane, kneel in reflection at the Western Wall, and gaze over the city from the Mount of Olives, where the prophets once stood.
You’ll stand at the shores of the Sea of Galilee, visit Capernaum — Jesus’ ministry base — and be baptized in the waters of the Jordan River, just as John baptized Jesus. Each destination holds not only historical and religious significance but also a powerful personal meaning that stirs the soul.
This tour is more than sightseeing. It’s a sacred encounter — a chance to strengthen your faith, reflect deeply, and walk in the places where heaven once touched earth.

- Jerusalem: The heart of Israel, where you can explore the Old City with its Western Wall, Church of the Holy Sepulchre, and the Dome of the Rock.
